Measurement of PV asymmetry in n＋p→d＋γ and γ＋d→n＋p

The measurement of parity-violating （PV） observables in few-nucleon system can shed light on our current understanding of the weak interaction between nucleons.Theoretical models describe the nucleonnucleon weak interaction at low energies use a series of undetermined parameters.Two parity violating measurements have been considered： the capture of polarized slow neutrons on hydrogen （n ＋ p → d ＋ γ） at Los Alamos National Laboratory for first phase and Oka Ridge National Laboratory for second phase and the helicity dependence of the deuteron photodisintegration cross section using circularly polarized photons （γ ＋ d → n ＋ p） at Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics.The goal of both experiments is to constraint the weak meson-nucleon couplings to a precision of 1 ×10^-8 .The introduction of both experiments is presented.     

Ds1（2536）^＋ decays and the structure of P-wave charmed strange mesons

We calculate the D s 1 （2536） ^＋ decays into D＊K channels,including the decay D s 1 （2536） ＋ → D ＋ π-K ＋ through a virtual D＊0 in a constituent quark model.Widths and S/D amplitudes ratio are in agreement with the recent Belle and BABAR data,being the results sensitive to 1 P 1 and 3 P 1 mixture.     

Search for the origin of double-peak structure at RHIC by AMPT model with triggered di-jet

With a multi-phase transport （AMPT） model,a γ-jet with known production point and momentum is triggered to search for the origin of double-peak structure in di-hadron azimuthal correlation in central Au＋Au collisions at RHIC energy.The different configurations of triggered γ-jet produce different shapes of medium responses.The key of the double-peak structure is found to be a strong shadowing effect of dense core,which is related to transverse expansion and radial flow of partonic matter.     

Recent results from the HERMES experiment

Results are presented from the Hermes experiment which uses semi-inclusive deep inelastic lepton scattering to study the flavor structure of the nucleon.Data have been accumulated for pion and kaon double spin asymmetries,single-spin azimuthal asymmetries for meson electroproduction,deep virtual Compton scattering （DVCS）,and meson multiplicities.These results provide information on the properties of the strange sea in the proton,constraints on transverse momentum dependent quark parton distributions,and demonstrate the promise of DVCS for isolating the total angular momentum carried by the quarks in the proton.     

Hadron program at COMPASS

The fixed target COMPASS experiment at CERN offers the opportunity to search for exotic mesons and glueball candidates in the light quark sector with unprecedented statistics.Preliminary results from the 2008 data taken with an incoming negative hadron beam （190 GeV/c,mainly pions） on a liquid hydrogen target are presented.New detectors dedicated to hadron beam measurements have been added.These give access to rare neutral and kaonic channels.An amplitude analysis which will allow to fit simultaneously diffractively and/or centrally produced resonances will be described and compared with those used in the CERN WA102 and BNL E852 experiments.     

Probing new physics in B → J/ψπ~0 decay

We calculate the branching ratio of B → J/ψπ0 with a mixed formalism that combines the QCDimproved factorization and the perturbative QCD approaches.The result is consistent with experimental data.The quite small penguin contribution in B → J/ψπ0 decay can be calculated with this method.We suggest two methods to extract the weak phase β.One is through the dependence of the mixing induced CP asymmetry SJ/ψπ0 on the weak phase β,the other is from the relation of the total asymmetry ACP with the weak phase β.Our results show that the deviation ΔSJ/ψπ0 of the mixing induced CP asymmetry from sin（-2β） is of O（10-3） and has much less uncertainty.The above O（10-3） deviation can provide a good reference for identifying new physics.     

Effect of parton cascade to medium

Jet quenching has been proposed as a probe of the properties of the strongly interacting quarkgluon-plasma in high energy heavy ion collisions.At the meantime,it is also important to study the excitation of medium by propagating jets.Based on Boltzmann equation,a Monte Carlo was constructed to simulate the elastic collisions with thermal partons by energetic jets.Medium modification due to jet-medium interaction has been studied within this model in a uniform medium.     

Parton distribution functions and nuclear EMC effect in a statistical model

A new and simple statistical approach is performed to calculate the parton distribution functions （PDFs） of the nucleon in terms of light-front kinematic variables.Analytic expressions of x-dependent PDFs are obtained in the whole x region.And thereafter,we treat the temperature T as a parameter of the atomic number A to explain the nuclear EMC effect in the region x ∈ [0.2,0.7].We give the predictions of PDF ratios,and they are very different from those by other models,thus experiments aiming at measuring PDF ratios are suggested to provide a discrimination of different models.     

Hunting η-bound nuclei

The η meson can be bound to atomic nuclei.Experimental search is discussed in the form of final state interaction for the reactions dp → 3 Heη and dd → 4 Heη.For the latter case tensor polarized deuterons were used in order to extract the s-wave strength.For both reactions complex scattering lengths are deduced： a 3 Heη = ± 10.7±0.8 ＋0.1 -0.5 ＋i· 1.5±2.6 ＋1.0-0.9 fm and a 4 Heη = [±（3.1±0.5）＋i·（0±0.5）] fm.In a two-nucleon transfer reaction under quasi-free conditions,p^ 27 Al → ^3 HeX,was investigated.The system X can be the bound 25 Mg  η at rest.When a possible decay of an intermediate N  （1535） is required,a highly significant bump shows up in the missing mass spectrum.The data give for a bound state a binding energy of 13.3±1.6 MeV and a width of σ=4.4±1.3 MeV.     

Light meson spectrum and their leptonic decay widths in the frame work of constituent quark models

The phenomenological non-relativistic quark model has been employed to obtain the ground state masses of light vector mesons and their radially excited states and their decay widths.The full hamiltonian used in the investigation has kinetic energy,the confinement potential and the one-gluon-exchange potential.A good agreement is obtained with the experimental masses and their leptonic decay widths.     

Determining the strange and antistrange quark distributions of the nucleon

The difference between the strange and antistrange quark distributions,δs（x） = s（x） ˉs（x）,and the combination of light quark sea and strange quark sea,Δ（x） =ˉ d（x） ＋ uˉ（x） s（x） ˉs（x）,are originated from non-perturbative processes and can be calculated using non-perturbative models of the nucleon.We report calculations of δs（x） and Δ（x） using the meson cloud model.Combining our calculations of Δ（x） with relatively well known light antiquark distributions obtained from global analysis of available experimental data,we estimate the total strange sea distributions of the nucleon.     

Manifestation of intermediate meson loop effects in charmonium decays

We report the progress on understanding some of those existing puzzles in charmonium decays.We show that the intermediate meson loops （IML） as a long-distance transition mechanism will provide novel insights into these issues.In particular,we show that the IML mechanism would be essentially important for understanding the ψ（3770） non-DD decays.We also comment that such a mechanism is correlated with the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka （OZI） rule evasions in charmonium hadronic decays.     

Prospectives of the hadron program in ATLAS

One of the first measurements that will be made at the LHC by ATLAS deals with the properties of inelastic collisions,namely the central charged particle density and transverse momentum distributions.Current predictions of these distributions have large uncertainties in the LHC energy range.We describe the ATLAS minimum bias triggers,designed to select all kind of inelastic interactions,and the performance of the track reconstruction software which was adapted to soft particle track reconstruction.The precision with which the minimum bias distributions can be measured with early data is presented and the uncertainties on the inelastic distributions due to trigger bias is discussed.     

Entanglement in a two-qubit Heisenberg XXZ chain with different Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya couplings and an inhomogeneous magnetic field

Ground state entanglement and thermal entanglement of a two-qubit Heisenberg XXZ chain in the presence of the different Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction and inhomogeneous magnetic field are investigated.By the concept of concurrence,we find that the inhomogeneity of the magnetic field may make entanglement last for a long time and the critical temperature is dependent on Jz and b.The entanglement can be increased by increasing the temperature in some cases.We also find that the x-component parameter Dx has a higher critical temperature and more entanglement for a certain condition than the z-component parameter Dz.     

Search for new physics in the B→K^（＊）l^＋l^- decays at BABAR

Based on a data sample of 384 million BB pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-Ⅱ asymmetric e ＋ e ￣ storage ring,we measure branching fractions,direct CP,isospin and lepton-flavor asymmetries for the rare decays B → K （＊） l ＋ l￣ in two di-lepton mass bins above and below the J/ψ resonance.For the B → K＊ l ＋ l￣ decay,we also measure the K＊ longitudinal polarization fraction and the di-lepton forwardbackward asymmetry.     

Preliminary study of a niobium quarter-wave prototype cavity for a heavy-ion superconducting linac

Superconducting quarter-wave resonators,due to their compactness and their convenient shape for tuning and coupling,are very attractive for low-β beam acceleration.In this paper,two types of cavities with different geometry have been numerically simulated the first type with larger capacitive load in the beam line and the second type of lollipop-shape for 100 MHz,β=0.06 beams then the relative electromagnetic parameters and geometric sizes have been compared.It is found that the second type,whose structural design is optimized with the conical stem and shaping drift-tube,can support the better accelerating performance.At the end of the paper,some structural deformation effects on frequency shifts and appropriate solutions have been discussed.     

High pt and photon physics with ALICE at LHC

ALICE,A Large Ion Collider Experiment,is dedicated to study the QCD matter at extreme high temperature and density to understand the Quark Gluon Plasma （QGP） and phase transition.High-transversemomentum photons and neutral mesons from the initial hard scattering of partons can be measured with ALICE calorimeters,PHOS （PHOton Spectrometer） and EMCAL （ElectroMagnetic CALorimeter）.Combing the additional central tracking detectors,the γ-jet and π 0-jet measurements thus can be accessed.These measurements offer us a sensitive tomography probe of the hot-dense medium generated in the heavy ion collisions.In this paper,high p T and photon physics is discussed and the ALICE calorimeters capabilities of high-transverse-momentum neutral mesons and γ-jet measurements are presented.     

A Particle-in-cell scheme of the RFQ in the SSC-Linac

A 52 MHz Radio Frequency Quadrupole （RFQ） linear accelerator （linac） is designed to serve as an initial structure for the SSC-Linac system （injector into Separated Sector Cyclotron）.The designed injection and output energy are 3.5 keV/u and 143 keV/u,respectively.The beam dynamics in this RFQ have been studied using a three-dimensional Particle-In-Cell （PIC） code BEAMPATH.Simulation results show that this RFQ structure is characterized by stable values of beam transmission effciency （at least 95%） for both zerocurrent mode and the space charge dominated regime.The beam accelerated in the RFQ has good quality in both transverse and longitudinal directions,and could easily be accepted by Drift Tube Linac （DTL）.The effect of the vane error and that of the space charge on the beam parameters have been studied as well to define the engineering tolerance for RFQ vane machining and alignment.     

Supersymmetric contributions to B_s → K~-π~＋ decay

Recently,the CDF Collaboration has measured the branching fraction and time-integrated direct CP asymmetry of Bs → K-π＋ decay.The branching ratio is lower than the previous predictions based on QCD factorization.The experimental results favor a large CP asymmetry in Bs → K-π＋ decay while the standard model prediction is very small.We compute the supersymmetry contributions to Bs → K-π＋ decay using the mass insertion method,and find that the LR and RL mass insertions could suppress this branching ratio and increase this direct CP asymmetry well in line with the experimental data.
